Ummm, no.  I think you're talking about the *alphabet*, not the
language.  The English language is part of a large group of languages
called Indo-European, and Hebrew isn't part of this group (nor is
Egyptian).  Where this language originated is controversial; one
theory is somewhere northeast of the Black Sea.  I don't think you're
quite right about the alphabets, either; the Greek and Hebrew
alphabets are both more or less directly derived from the Phoenician
alphabet, and Egyptian hieroglyphics don't figure into it at all.
